      Hit from google images seem to be distroting my results. I sell airport taxis so want rid of any hots that came through google images as there no buying intent

      Aanlytics shows (when i click in)

      Traffic Sources > Search Engine Optimisation > Quires

      250 clicks

      All of which came from quires related to generic taxi terms which I do (unfortunately) rank for in search. I imagine these generated because I have a taxi cab image in page one of google images. So when people search for a picture of a taxi they click mine.

      However in SEO MOZ the traffic data tab shows:

      google  = 219 clicks

      images.google = 3 clicks

      This should be the other way round shouldn't it?

        Why not take advantage of it? If you own copyright of the image, you could offer the image in return for a link to your site. Use Search by image to find out if people are using it without linking back already.

        If appropriate put some other great content on the page that contains the image that is likely to attract links, or see if you can monetise the page somehow. You're fortunate to rank on page 1 of Google Images, not unfortunate! Find a way to use it to your advantage. 🙂
